One reviewer says the back tire doesn't spin freely. Is this true?

No, we haven't had that problem. We bought this for our 7 yo's Bday but my 6'3" 200 lb husband has ridden it for fun :)

No, the wheel will not spin freely. The stand supports the bike upright. A work stand would be better suited to hold the bike to spin the wheels.

My brother in law built ours but I looked at it and here is what I can tell you. Looking at the bike from the back going from the left side to the right is what I see. The left tire just has the axel pushed in it, then there is 4 inches of exposed axel before the chassis starts, after the chassis there is the black shaft, then a white sprocket that is larger than the sprocket shape inside of the wheel. I called my BIL and he does remember having to force the axel and wheel together but said that the white sprocket that I can visibly see did not fit in the wheel shape. I am not sure if this helps. I have pictures I will try and post if you need them.

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

Yes mine spins. The one you have may be bent during shipment rendering it stiff.

I did not take into consideration either of the items you highlight in your question. My principle concern was for a smooth tire resulting in the quietest ride when used in a Cycle Ops exercise stand. The tire will likely never see the road/pavement. It did the trick the bike is very quite during exercise spins.

Recommend you check with Koolertron and let everyone else know as I haven't had to rotate tires yet. You should have an Amazon option to ask vendor.

If you ever turned your wheel then it would either disconnect the pieces from each other or simply shred them due to the tension caused by the turning tires. If you only drove straight then it may be fine.

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

Did you ever find a answer? Trying to figure this out myself, the tires seem to be the weak point!

No. the front wheel wabbles back and forth when there is little pressure on it. The only way I can stop it is to push up on the handle, making the weight on the front tire...or to lift the handle so the wheel doesn't touch the ground. I plan to purchase the Jogging wheel. this happens even when walking with it.

Have you ever put on a bike tire? If you overlay the cover on the steering wheel from the top so the cover is on the wheel, then as you go around you should be able to "force" the bottom back portion over the steering wheel. I hope this helps

Yes there is. If you push the tension wheel that is on the back up against the tire a bit, it will create more resistance. Just turn the screwkey to loosen and tighten.

I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin. I replaced the factory tire's after 1 month of normal use, I strongly suggest you do the same. I brought my bike down to the bike shop after I started to lose traction and the mechanic told me I was the the 4th person to replace the tires he has serviced with this model bike. it cost me $75 but it was well worth it. I have been riding 25 years and have never owned such a great bike. I wish Jeep would get it together and do something about the bike's cheap tires. If you have not bought this bike yet, DO!. Then replace the tires ASAP. Had my bike 5 years and am buying a new one this spring same model Good Luck. I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin.

No, it is fixed and this is the only issue with the cart. When locked in place it gives a leftward bias. We only walk with it so it is not a real issue and anyway your weight will mostly be on the handle thus slightly lifting the front wheel and negating the issue. You turn by directing the rear wheels anyway, meaning subtle inputs from your hands. It is beautifully balanced i should add!

I have had no problems at all with the tires. It's a great stroller, well worth the price. You won't be disappointed!
